It was a beautiful day and I decided to make a quick stop at Lake Rudan, hoping to shoot a reflection photo, but it was too early in the day for that so I continued around the lake until I saw a young woman sitting in the sunshine on one of the piers. It turned out to be Sara from Västerhaninge. She's a student at the Stockholm University where she is studying Urban and Regional Planning. Sara is a nature lover. One of her favorite places in Stockholm is the Cape of Waldemar at Djurgården. A favorite European city is Barcelona. We talked for a few minutes about this and that and after I had removed a tiny spider from Sara's hair we stood up and stretched our legs and that was that.
Argo Tea Cafe again i think. College students studying now that is a rare sight. A very very rare one.
I moved my study into the attic eventually. 40 degrees in the summer, and 0 in the winter. Loved that place.
Pink, the stray black mask kitty cat, studies the newest hi-tech feature in her (his) environment. First notes: Pink does not like the cat flap.

Day Eighty-Two ~ Studying Up
We only have another week and a few days until we get Anna’s cockatiel from Houston. Today she received her gently used training book in the mail. She was more excited than she appears here, lol.
Seen at Sudoguksan (Water Works Hill) Museum of Housing and Living, just east of downtown Incheon. Water Works Hill hosted a shantytown, made up of displaced rural peasants and Northern refugees, which lasted through the industrialization years until being gentrified in 1996; there is a museum dedicated to life in the shantytown, a valuable resource to remember a bygone era.
Confucian culture puts heavy emphasis on social achievements via education. Many students growing up in the shantytowns, in a desire to get a better-paying job and live in nicer surroundings, studied hard for their future. As a result, there were cubicles located throughout the shantytown that allowed students to gather and study quietly, away from the overcrowded conditions and distractions of the home shack.
Few artifacts remain from such study rooms, and their presence is known primarily from testimony of former shantytown residents, who named several actual study rooms by name as well as the names of residents who used them.

It was taken in Nepal when I went for a trek of Annapurna circuit. The local woman, at rural Manang district of Nepal in the photo, gave her real smiling face to my camera. It can be seen that "True Happiness lies within our own state of mind, and so too do the primary obstacles to that happiness.” – Dalai Lama
101 Oil Studies, No. 10
Objective: Flat tone test; high thin clouds following "Moon and Morning Sky" photograph in my "Sky and Space" album.
Painted in 2 sessions: 02 Feb and 09 Feb 2024
Pigments (Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour: Cerulean blue, lamp black, titanium white. Mediums: Gamsol, Oleogel.
Ampersand Gessobord, 12.7 x 12.7 cm (5 x 5 inches)
Process: In this miniature study, the original wash was very light, so I tried painting the sky as negative spaces between the clouds, later adding additional gestural strokes of white in the clouds.
After Action Evaluation: Clouds are way heavier than in "Moon and Morning Sky" photo. Deeping the blue initially, then adding clouds in thin glazes seems to be the better approach.
